ABSTRACT
Doris Dorrie was born in Hanover (then in East Germany) in 1955. She studied drama in the US and continued her training at the Academy of Television and Film in Munich, where she now lives and works. Her output includes a number of documentaries and ten feature films, among them the internationally successful Men (1986), as well as seven volumes of short stories, a novel, a play, and three children's books. In 2001 she stage-directed Mozart's Cosi fan tutte at the state opera house in Berlin. Her work often addresses male-female relationships, as is the case in her popular comedy Keiner liebt mien (Nobody Loves Me, 1995), where issues of race and sexual orientation are also central.1
